Night Inspiration
I struggled a bit to paint the face, especially the forehead. I think the brush I used was a bit too stiff for this painting style and these pigments, so the layers ended up reactivating ecery time I tried to paint over them. But I managed to make it not that bad. Somehow... I really don't know how tho, it just kinda... worked at some point.
Night Inspiration
“The blank page
Won’t let itself be filled.
Ideas won’t flow out
And stain the paper
As they usually do.
This pencil awaits,
Scribbling a bit
Some meaningless lines,
Like an engine that keeps rolling
Until someone finally presses on the clutch.
But you end up gazing in the night
At a page
With only a few doodles,
Still waiting
For inspiration to come all by itself.”
